Objective
This programme is part of the Social Cohesion programme, which aims in the long run to anchor social cohesion research into the established research framework. The many questions surrounding the multicultural society are to be viewed from a new perspective that may bring us closer to some of the answers.
The questions surrounding the multicultural society are highly complex, involving many issues. For that reason any study of them must be deep, historically comparative and interdisciplinary. In the MPS programme these many questions are treated in an interconnected way. Within a conceptual framework society is like an arena of actors who in- or exclude each other, cooperate or compete. By means of symbolic, social, politico-juridical and economic resources these actors try to achieve their goals. The central questions of the programme, which are to lead to a deeper understanding of these processes of in- and exclusion, are approached in an interdisciplinary way.
